The morning line is very important if you are looking for value in multi-race bets. If you can find a horse on the ML that is 8-1, 12-1 and will be for certain in the 5-2 to 4-1 range. You will get huge value if play a Pick 3 or P4 to that horse. There is usually at least one on every card, even for a really good linemaker like Eric Donavan or Mike Battaglia in KY.
